SATURDAY EVENING, MAY :.
Fairfax County Roads.
editor of the WashinQton Post

To the editor of the Washington Post;
During my first visit to Fairfax county,
Va, recently, with friend who has pur-
chased farm there, was struck with the
beauty of the country, its abundant, luxu-
RANT forests, its charming running streams.
its delicious springs and its lovely land
scspes. Its soil, too, though greatly worn
out by unWise and excessive culture, ex-
hibits its natural fertility, for its harvests
are abundant in all places where fertilizers
have been applied. But, Mr.. Editor, for
bear making any Investment, to which am
much inclined, by reason of one fact-the
roads in the county are the worst L nave
ever travelled over in any of the twenty.
five States I have visited. Take the road
from Burke's station to OccoqIan-for miles
you will encounter stumps and rocks, and
at times, perhaps, enter an unseen quick
sand. Washes across the road and diago-
nally with the road are frequent and you
are compelled to move along in your buggy
at snail's pace. Now who would like to
ride over such roads, even when passing
through Paradise? Cannot the people OF
Fairfax county be stirred up in regard to
this matter? l am sure that nothing will
more conduce to the Improvement OF the
county than good roads In fact l think 1t
is ''the one thing needed" Very respect
fully, =. ~

The GAZETTE is now the Oldest paper IL
the State, and with few exceptions the old
est in the country, and lis usefulness hs.
been demonstrated and appreciated during
tho EIGHTY. SEVEN YEARS ofita existence In
its columns has always been found mirror
OF passing events, and the careful chron
cling of the history ofwhat is going on in tho
world has ever been its aim. II is always
welcomed in the household, while in the
counting room and workshop it has become
invaluable.
The GAZETTE has better facilities Tor Oh.
tanning news than any paper outside Of the
national capital. Situated as it is so close
to the great centre of news, it enjoys daily
the benefit of the Associated Press dis.
patches from every part the world ; hence
its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as well a.
from every part of the habitabe globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE TO publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning pa
pers.
Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE great desideratum with mer
chants is its afternoon market REPORTS from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes fall and
complete history OF everything that occurs
in and near the city, and this feature will
as ever, receive careful attention.
